Airsoft pistol Glock 17 Gen.5, metal slide, Gas blowback

In 1980, the Austrian Army announced that it was looking for a replacement for the obsolete Walther P38 pistols. Glock assembled a team of experts and produced a working prototype within three months. The new gun was named the Glock 17 because it was the company's seventeenth set of technical drawings. After rigorous testing by the Austrian army, the Glock 17 was the winner of the competition. In 1982, the Glock was adopted by the Austrian army as the P80 (Pistol 80). GLOCK pistols are widely used in the civilian sector for self-defense, as well as by security forces around the world, especially in America, where they are one of the most widely used weapons. It has also received NATO certification and has become the standard service weapon of that organization.

Authentic replica of perhaps the most famous Austrian gunmaker Glock.

Umarex has been licensed by Glock to produce precision airsoft replicas that offer a realistic marking and appearance. As with the real steel gun, the ergonomic lower frame is polymer and the slide and barrel are metal. This version of the airsoft pistol does not lack the BlowBack system, which ensures realistic movement of the gun's slide during firing.

The GLOCK 17 Gen5 has some minor changes in appearance compared to the Gen4 - beveled edges in the front for better holster insertion, more massive sights, a redesigned handguard that makes it easier to insert the magazine, and VFC has improved the finish, which is now more wear resistant. The GLOCK 17 Gen5 can also be easily disassembled for maintenance and inspection.

The trigger mechanism has a Single Action design.

The safety against accidental firing is, as in the case of the real steel pistol, solved by a trigger safety. The trigger must be pressed on the centre to deactivate the safety. The gun also has a switchable safety located under the barrel.

Under the barrel is a single-slot RIS rail for mounting accessories such as a flashlight or laser. The gun has a functional slide catch, a high quality metal hop-up chamber with VSR bucking, adjustable hop-up and polycarbonate nozzle.

The metal magazine has a capacity of 22 BBs and is filled with Green Gas. The hop-up adjustment is done with an Allen screw on the front of the gun, so there is no need to remove the slide for adjustment. The filling valve is accessible by removing the cap of the magazine.
